Video tutorial

To replace the engine oil, unscrew the drain plug located under the oil sump after positioning a container to collect the oil; once the draining is complete, screw the plug back in. Next, replace the oil filter located just below the alternator; apply the new filter after coating the gasket with oil to improve adhesion (do not exceed the torque, hand-tightening is sufficient).

Finally, fill the engine with new oil according to the SAE specifications and the quantities stated in the user manual.

Check the level using the dipstick.
